    I stopped in for a late Sunday afternoon lunch and coffee after finding this as the nearest cafe that rated well on Beanhunter. I ordered a lamb wrap and short macchiato. My coffee arrived quickly and was an enjoyable drink. Not the best campos macchiato I have had (lacked natural sweetness) but... Read more

    Myself and a mate were on the hunt for a coffee High and tried a few coffees in the area. We got to glow and the search for the worst coffee ended there and made us never want to drink coffee again, I mean, I've had a better double espresso at the drive through in McDonalds, (being completely...

    I'm on a weekend holiday with my partner in South Bank. Had lunch at this Cafe. Loved my experience. Small wait on food .. but chicken was cooked to perfection & my expresso was Devine , Not burnt & not too hot ... Would love someone to get it perfect in Sydney !

    Stopped for the first time at 4:46 on a Saturday afternoon. Doors wide open. Young employee asks \"what were you after\"? I reply \"a small long black to go would be nice\". He replies \"oh ... Sorry ... I just cleaned the coffee machine\". You be the judge :-)

    Short Macchiato was pretty good, and always nice to see a La Marzocco Linear. Service was good, and it's nice that there's actually some room to sit.

    I assume there are renovations on at the moment as there is a cart outside the front and the shop is in tatters. Anyway, the cart has music going with a couple of tables and seats beside it. Great service and a great atmosphere. My double ristretto piccolo was very nice on the superior blend from... Read more

    Simple set up. For the space it is very well set up though. Not having EFTPOS was a pain though. Finished my coffee, more so because all of my relatives did, then actually enjoying it. Maybe after a movie if I felt like a coffee Id go there. Not on a regular basis though.

    Campos, no bullshit, friendly. Good coffee if you are near southbank and don't like the look of the touristy cafe strip.

    Used to be better... I got a dodgy coffee today. I thought Campos was more strict with their Batista training...

    Good value small Flat White with Bacon and Eggs on Toast, $8 food and coffee were good, but not great. Atmosphere was very good, As a newbie in the area I was able to sit at the window and look outside.

    The best coffee in South Bank for sure. They use Campos 'superior' blend as their house blend and have a monthly 'single origin' as well. The staff are all wonderful and friendly. The food they have is also delicious the apricot danish, ham and cheese croissant and especially the almond croissant.... Read more

    This place use to have good coffee and service before it expanded. Went there before Xmas with 10 work colleagues. Terrible service even though we booked a table days before for morning tea. Could not get any water at the tables coffee was terrible. Attitude of staff was particularly bad... Read more

    Best coffee on the St by far. Found the girls very friendly and coffee very well priced. Ambiance is great, very nice job done for very little room. I will stop in there again a

    It's very pleasant to have some good coffee in South Bank. The staff are all extremely friendly, though some are more consistent with their coffee than others.

    The equipment and beans are good, though I do see Campos blends as more an "extremely safe bet" coffee than a particularly... Read more
